Remain until you have weaned him; only ^(D)may the Lord confirm His word.” So the woman remained and nursed her son until she weaned him. ²⁴ Now when she had weaned him, ^(E)she took him up with her, with a three-year-old bull and one ephah of flour and a jug of wine, and brought him to ^(F)the house of the Lord in Shiloh, although the child was young.
